The cytologic examinations and cloning efficiencies of 47 human tumor specimens (19 ovarian carcinomas, 6 sarcomas, 5 lung carcinomas, and 17 miscellaneous tumors) were compared to evaluate the predictability of clonogenecity by cytologic diagnosis. Cytologic examination preceding clonogenic assay identified the 50% to 60% of all specimens that failed to yield in vitro chemotherapy sensitivity by this assay, with a false-negative rate of 10%. The frequency of cytologically identifiable tumor cells in the plating suspension was independent of the histologic type of tumor (ovarian carcinoma or others) and the nature of the specimen (solid tumor or malignant effusion). Nearly 66% of all specimens were cytologically negative. The in vitro sensitivity can be assessed in approximately 75% of cytologically positive specimens. Cytologic evaluation preceding soft-agar clonogenic assay of human tumors can reduce cost and effort by predicting colony-producing specimens.

D010051	Ovarian Neoplasms	Tumors or cancer of the OVARY. These neoplasms can be benign or malignant. They are classified according to the tissue of origin, such as the surface EPITHELIUM, the stromal endocrine cells, and the totipotent GERM CELLS.

D004351	Drug Resistance	Diminished or failed response of an organism, disease or tissue to the intended effectiveness of a chemical or drug. It should be differentiated from DRUG TOLERANCE which is the progressive diminution of the susceptibility of a human or animal to the effects of a drug, as a result of continued administration.	Resistance, Drug
